Rasta and Blue Hornet placement

[Magical Reef]

I should be receiving some frags of Rastas and Blue Hornets soon. Where should I place them in the tank (high, low, medium). They're going in a 60 gallon cube with a Gen2 radion light.


Thanks for your help

I would start them off in the bottom third to let them get adjusted to light then slowly bring them up to middle area, i keep mine at the bottom third of the tank and had a 45g cube and they were happy there, and growing.

Thanks. That's what I figured but just wanted to make sure that these weren't tempermental

Rastas like higher flow than the hornets from my experience.

Rasta will do well in higher light while Blue hornet like lower light.

I have both on the same rock in my tank between the glow of two 150w- 14K Phoenix halides and directly below a ReefBrite XHO blue led. I have 3 SeaSwirls blowing the tank and they're in the bottom third, right at that level. Had the Rastas for a couple of years with little growth. Since placing them here, they have grown to 25 polyps or so. The hornets are a recent addition but have grown 2 polyps within 3 months. Doesn't sound great, but I believe there is always a "break in" period where the frag adjusts and then starts to grow. My rastas

My Rastas are on the top right under t5s and that is the spot they grew the most.
